Thank you for stopping by and reading my very first ever blog...enjoy, I hope!

     A couple of weeks ago we here in Ohio were hit with a blizzard. 8 to 10 inches. I have a mostly mounted route (and as I am new here, I gather that there are quite a few of you who are rural carriers! Hats off to ya! I'm clueless as to how you guys operate since I've been a city carrier for the last 30 years.) 

    Anyway, you all know how wonderful our LLV's are in a trace of snow and so we commented to that affect to our manager, Mr. I Drive a $50,000 Hummer, and explained that we might be running a little late this day. "It's not like we're driving a Hummer like you are!" we said! Mr. Hummer then said, "My truck is terrible in the snow! In fact, I bet the LLV's are better than my Hummer in the snow!"

It made our morning! We're still laughing about that one.

P.S.

  Too bad Mr Hummer was dead serious!

P .P.S.

  We're considering writing to Congress to help outfit our boys and gals fighting in Iraq with the proper equipment...send them our LLV's. How have they survived this long without them!
